Or maybe he&#8217;s saying that I had better get off my duff and FEED HIM!  It&#8217;s tough to tell.  This time of the evening he generally comes around looking for attention, but he behaves the same way when he wants to be fed.<br \/>\nOkay&#8230;stinky cat food set out, dishes rinsed, dishwasher started&#8230;.(see what keeps me from blogging???)<br \/>\nI think I have finally come to the time when I will have to admit that I might have to cut back on my beloved drink of choice (hot or iced tea), after dinner.  I have not been sleeping well this past year.   There are a number of issues involved here, but I&#8217;m pretty sure that by switching to decaf tea, or water, I might be able to improve the issue of <b>getting to sleep.<\/b>  Time will tell.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m also trying to take good advice offered to alternate tea with water.  We ALL need more water in our diets.  Most of us don&#8217;t recognize dehydration when we experience it because we are frequently borderline dehydrated to start.  I used to think that because I drank so much tea, I couldn&#8217;t have a problem, but I was wrong.  You need to drink WATER&#8230;.not just liquids!<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve been pondering weighty issues this week.  Earlier, I posted a link to a political quiz.  The past few days I&#8217;ve been thinking about pro-choice and anti-abortion issues.  It&#8217;s a sign that while my hands have been busy with chores, gardening and piecing quilt tops, my brain has been wandering. I&#8217;ll let it wander a bit more and then share a couple of those thoughts with you.<br \/>\nDid I tell you that we had planned to rent a RED convertible for the coming weekend?  About six weeks ago, I tried to pin one down, without a great deal of success.  Hertz finally told me that they had  convertibles coming in, but they couldn&#8217;t guarantee there would be any red ones.  The agent suggested that I call this week to see if they could accommodate me.  Well, this time I got an agent who didn&#8217;t give a rip about my needs.  She said they couldn&#8217;t guarantee what color or type of car I would get.  The color was so important, that I canceled my order for a convertible.  I had planned to drive Elegante Mother around for the weekend in a jazzy little red car, but we&#8217;ll do it another time when I can find a RED ONE!<br \/>\nWhy is it, when you are not near the keyboard there are dozens of things you&#8217;d like to write about. And, when you are AT the keyboard&#8230;.you can&#8217;t remember any of them?<br \/>\nI&#8217;ll come back when I can remember some of them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You know&#8230;.it&#8217;s really shocking to pull up your own blog and see that it&#8217;s been so long since you posted that there&#8217;s no message box on the screen!
